We also contemplate what our reading lives will really look like with new babies in the picture.

    Interview with Best-Selling Author of Lock Every Door: Riley Sager

    Hi readers! You're in for a treat today. We are so excited to have Riley Sager on the podcast, national and international best-selling author of Final Girls, The Last Time I Lied, and his new release that came out in July 2019, Lock Every Door. We loved picking Riley's brain all about what makes a great plot-twisty horror/thriller, how he got the inspiration to write about The Bartholomew—the creepy, gothic setting for Lock Every Door—his favorite characters to write about, and so, so much more.  This is a spoiler-free episode, and we hope you enjoy it! After talking to Riley, we are definitely in the mood for some more page-turning thrillers.  Books mentioned:  Lock Every Door by Riley Sager Final Girls by Riley Sager The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay Bird Box by Josh Malerman Red Dragon by Thomas Harris  Follow Us Everywhere!

    Instagram Made Us Do It

    In today’s episode, Mollie and Katie lament the onslaught of heartburn because their stomachs now reside in their throats.
